They also have a version with studio casters and a weighted base,but I have not used that. The boom arm is pretty long (82") so it's not something you'd put in carry-on luggage! It does, however, break down for transit. The stand is suitably heavy.

i currently use this model a lot, very heavy duty overall, i'm quite happy with it. Yeah it's kinda heavy when traveling but does the job correctly every time. You can get it for about $99 on Amazon.

Since the boom arm can be set to be very long i always use a couple of sandbags on the stand to make sure eveything it's rock solid.
